Plasma and Monitor Rentals for a Gaming Tournament

In the technology rental industry, plasma screens are acquired for a plethora of different reasons. Many people get them for a booth at a trade show, conference or convention, and others rent them for maybe a business meeting or as a quick solution for a visual aid. But one thing that plasma rentals are perfect for are gaming tournaments.

If you do not know what I mean, then let me explain. A gaming tournament is an event where teams or individuals come together to compete against each other in games on a variety of platforms including the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and PC. Typically, on the consoles at least, teams compete in either shooters, like Halo, Call of Duty or Gears of War, or fighters, like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. PC gamers also dabble in the shooters and fighters but also branch off into strategy games like StarCraft.

Teams on consoles typically consist of four players who generally have to share a screen in the less popular tournaments, so right there you have two screens for one match. How many teams you have determines how many matches you will have to do which also determines how many screens you need.

PC tournaments are a bit different because you need a single screen per competitor. This can get complicated if you are trying to borrow and downright expensive if you are thinking about buying. That is where a plasma rental or monitor rental comes in. You can rent as many plasmas or monitors as you need with varying degrees of specs.

You can get LCD or plasma screens and monitors that range from 720p to full 1080p HD in a variety of sizes. Get a bunch of 30" screens for the competitors and a couple of 50" screens for fans to watch if you plan to do a live feed at the tournament. You can also rent monitors and plasma screens from all the top names in the industry. Samsung, Sony, Vizio, HP, Acer or even Toshiba rentals can be acquired wherever you need them whenever you need them. And if you are worried about cost, then you will be pleased to know that rentals are much cheaper than buying. You could even charge teams to enter or for food and drinks and quickly raise the money needed for the rental.

If you are planning on hosting a gaming tournament and need plasmas or monitors, then check out what it costs to just rent them. You won't have to worry about picking them up or dropping them off, and you won't have to worry about setup either. Make your next tournament one people tell their friends about by going with a legitimate setup.

Acer's New Tablet Uses AMD C-50 APU

Not too long ago we heard about how Acer was throwing their hat into the Tablet ring and creating their very own tablet pc to rival that of Apple's iPad. Apple's iPad is one of the single hottest pieces of technology out right now, and other companies are seeing how profitable the tablet market is. That is why it isn't surprising to see all these other companies, like Samsung and Acer, coming out with their own versions of a tablet pc.

When Acer first unveiled their stab at a tablet, they showed off some pretty good things. The company has already confirmed that their tablet will be powered by AMD, but as for that, nothing else was really said about it. Well, according to a report from DigiTimes, the Acer tablet should use AMD's dual-core C-50 Ontario APU (or Accelerated Processing Unit). What is interesting about this is the fact that the C-50 Ontario APU only uses 9 watts of power and comes with a built-in Radeon HD 6250 graphics chip.

The report from DigiTimes also stated that the Android Tablet will have Tegra 2 as well as support for WiFi and even 3G. So if we break it down, it appears that Acer is trying to deliver a 10.1-inch Android Tablet with Windows 7 using AMD's C-50 Ontario APU and containing two 1.3 megapixel webcams as well as support for WiFi and 3G. Oh, I forgot to mention the docking station that features a keyboard and charger.

Acer is really packing everything they can into their tablet, and consumers should definitely stay on the lookout for this device. If you are not an Apple fan or are just looking for an alternative to the Apple iPad, then don't hesitate to give Acer's tablet a once over. Acer is a top name in technology and is known for making top notch computers, which means making an awesome tablet should be no problem. Look for Acer's tablet when it launches in February, 2011.

What if Your Smartphone Could Make All Your Travel Reservations for You?

Smartphones are amazing devices. They can be very convenient and do so many different things, but unfortunately, making your travel reservation is not one of them. Your smartphone will allow you to utilize it as a boarding pass, a hotel room key, a flight alert system, an itinerary manager, and many other things. The thing that it is not able to do is the booking aspect of the trip. This is partially due to the fact that it is very difficult to transfer the complex information of a business reservation to the small screen of a smartphone, along with some other complications. Despite these difficulties, tech suppliers say that they are working on providing some booking tools that would make the phone more than just an information delivery system.

“Mobile technology gives travelers information they need on the road. That's what it does well,” said Steven Mandelbaum, the senior director of information systems and travel buyer at The Advisory Board Co. "It does well in the logistics of travel once it's booked. Everything from the gate alerts to getting your itinerary, mobile technology works exceptionally well. It's well-baked, it's been out for a while, travelers use it, adoption is high on it and they like it.”

"There are a lot of products that provide information. That's the lowest-hanging fruit in terms of what a traveler might need or want,” said Sabre Holdings’ director of mobile strategy, Will Pinnell. About a year ago Sabre released a survey of 800 corporate travelers across the globe that showed that 72 percent of those polled used their smartphone for flight notification services, 68 percent for checking the weather, 67 percent for viewing their hotel location, and 64 percent for destination guides once they reached their destination.

Most of the uses on the list are information-based,” said Pinnell. “There weren't a lot of transactions. I think you'll see a shift as we conduct the survey again, probably early next year. You'll start to see the ability to purchase ancillaries and the ability to not just book a segment, but add to an existing segment, which is probably the more frequent use-case scenario on a mobile device.”

This is great news for business travelers. Being able to make travel reservations straight from your smartphone would be incredibly convenient. Corporate technology providers are saying that they all plan to expand their mobile functionality into the realm of transactions. Pinnell says that travelers should look for this “especially at Sabre, we are a global distribution system, and we're all about transactions. We have to enable that. That's our business and, regardless of where that transaction happens—through the Sabre Red workspace, through GetThere, through the agency—we have a variety of ways to do that, and mobile is just another channel.”

Of course there are plenty of complications that companies are going to have to deal with before all of this is possible, but it’s just exciting to hear about what should be coming up sometime in the near future. If the kinks can be worked out, having booking apps would definitely be something that business travelers would greatly appreciate and be able to use often. Hopefully it won’t be too long before they are perfected, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Technology Rentals Help Evaluate Office Spending

If you own a small business, then you know that buying the wrong office equipment can be a very costly mistake. That is why it is always best to try before you buy, so why not try renting your office equipment? I mean, we rent movies, we rent games, we rent appliances, heck, we even rent houses and cars so why should office equipment be any different?

There are many problems that renting a computer, or any piece of equipment for that matter, can help you avoid. Frequent travelers or commuters need portable technology that is both up-to-date and reliable. They need the assurance that their equipment is going to perform well and even travel well. Finding the right balance between portability and performance isn't easy.

Since the fastest machines can also be the heaviest, many people tend to sacrifice power for convenience. That is why it would probably be a good idea to try out your equipment first. You can rent a computer for a month which gives you the perfect amount of time to "test drive" it.

One common complaint that is heard throughout the technological rental world is that notebook batteries are not as good as they should be. Despite what the specifications say, you truly will not know how the battery performs until you test it for yourself.

Desktops and plasma rentals are very popular and come in a wide range of prices as well as a wide range of options. How can you really tell if the $800 model is better than the $600 model? You can make out a list of your basic needs, but until you see the computer in action, you won't be able to accurately determine if it is the right device for you.

But what is a computer without a monitor? Monitors vary greatly in their quality and response time and picture quality can vary drastically across models. Is the 24" monitor worth it or will the 18" do just fine? Renting a monitor will help you settle the dispute first hand.

With great computers comes great peripherals. Wired is out and wireless is in with today's tech savvy renters. However, even peripherals, like mice, have devices that are better than others. Do you go with a laser mouse or an optical mouse? Is the performance difference really worth the $40 to $60 price difference? Why not rent both and find out for yourself?

If you are like so many small businesses out there, then you know that there is little room to maneuver when it comes to budgeting. Spending more money than you necessarily have to is never a good option. A better solution is taking some of your budget and using it on a computer or equipment rental, ensuring that you know exactly what you are getting before you blow the big bucks on it.
